Plug Wires with shielding
Last time I changed my plug wires was about 12 years ago when I had the motor out. How big of a pain is it to change them all the chrome shielding. Car is a 70 with all the factory shielding. Does one piece bolt to the starter bolt?

Nasty Job
Mine run under through the shields - it's a clean look and no wire to melt on headers.

You do not have to remove the boomerang to replace the wires.
Pull the #1 wire from the distributor and remove the boot.
Tie a string to the wire.
Remove the #1 wire at the plug and pull it out.
Remove the boot from the new wire and attach the string to it and pull it up.
Repeat with # 3, 2 and 4.

Thanks the boomerang was what I remember looking like a pain. I need to see on AC Delco wires I bought if wires I bought if the boot can be removed from the distributor side without damaging the wires
